"I was wondering on those three Canadian assemblies if a good number of those people may have actually attended more than one, boosting the numbers even more."

That's a good question...2 assemblies were 1 week apart at the same place in Sherbrooke city.

They never show how many left either, they only talk about how many were baptized. They never show their incomes either, it's well hidden.

Assembly at Quebec city: 7000

2nd assembly at Sherbrooke : 3000
Total of 13500.

However, the JW's told the medias that they are more or less 23000 in Quebec! There is a difference of 9500 members!!!! Maybe they're including the inactive ones, which they are not supposed to do.......hypocrites!!! Sources : (french)

Jevovah's Witnesses and mental health

by bubba flavel in

does anyone know if the society has specific policies on the handling of members with mental health problems?.

my grandfather, a brother in good standing since moses developed paranoid schizophrenia in his later years.

he got to the stage where he would knock people over in the street, place his hand on thier head and cast out evil spirits in the name of jehovah.. he was disfellowshiped and not long after he passed away.. this was related to me by a friend years later as i was unaware due to the shunning, i didn't even know he died.

yalbmert99

In fact, the watchtower is hypocrite about mental health issues. In some articles it will say that the psychologists and psychiatrists opinions are no good, and in other articles it will recognize mental illness and the need to seek help with a psychiatrist. But very often, witnesses who are mentally ill will be disfellowshipped because they don't follow the watchtower principles. However this is not the way the "outside world" treat mentally ill people. The "world" helps them instead of rejecting them. Moreover, even if a seriously mentally ill person (like one having schizophrenia) commits a crime according to the world(which is serious), he/she will considered not criminally responsible and will get psychiatric help and financial help instead of going to jail. The watchtower doesn't help the mentally ill people in any way, it just get rid of them.
